Making Digital Inclusion Everyone’s Responsibility - A Roadmap for Scotland
Created: 04/12/2023Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) is on a mission to make digital inclusion everyone's responsibility.
We live in a digital world, but some people remain excluded. They are locked out of being online and unable to take part in things that most of us take for granted.
The coronavirus pandemic proved that having a digital device, connectivity and the ability to use them is essential for modern life.
For those who face barriers to getting online, they’re missing the foundation that underpins our daily lives, including how we connect with friends, family and fun. For those of us delivering public services, we risk exacerbating existing inequalities by delivering services digitally.
Engaging online should always be a choice – but some people don’t have that choice.
SCVO has developed a post-pandemic roadmap to define where we’re at, where we need to go and the high level actions we need to take towards significantly reducing digital exclusion in Scotland.
This is a starting point. SCVO hope organisations from across the public, private and voluntary sectors will join them on the journey.
